A Strange New Feeling

When we first met, I did not know the magnitude
Of the feelings I'd come to have for you
You entered my life after a great storm
And I found a new love had been born

A feeling that had slept deep within my heart
You reached in and gave it a new start
I do not know if it will stay
But I'd be a fool to shoo it away

For when I gaze at your beautiful face
I know to look away would be a disgrace
Your eyes, your skin, and your lovely hair
The beauty of an angel is displayed there

A gift from God, I know you are
When the light in your eyes shines like a star
With these new feelings I pray, Father please
Tell me what to do with these

For I've made mistakes prior to
And I'm afraid to repeat them with you
But my heart and mind are at peace again
So I do not fear to let you in

So I offer my hand and my heart
And I know that we shall never part
For you occupy my heart and mind too
So I can't help but saying "I love you"

When we meet, it's easy to see
That I find it hard to breathe
A fool, I know that's what I am
But there's more to see if you take my hand

I don't know what this feeling is
But I hope that it does not vanish
I know that no poem or lyric will do
to express the feelings I have for you

Something about you is reeling
In a strange new feeling

Man of God

I once had walked in your holy shoes.
I tried so hard to represent you
I was filled with joy and glee
Because I was Innocent and Free.

But when when the dark one wanted in
It felt so hard to resist the sin
And as it clawed my life to shreds
My heart was broken, my soul was dead

But even when he tore me apart
You still possessed my Heart
My mind was strong and my motives right
But my willpower lost me the fight

After the sin had taken its tole
I sought your love to mend my soul
My life was cleansed and I was walking with you
And now it's clear what I'm to do.

The sin has returned and tried to come in
But when with you I shall always win
As the struggles had fled along with the strife
I could focus on how to live my life

My mind is pure and my motives, true
Now I live to glorify you
I discover my passions, and my talents too
I know that these are gifts from you.

I am now prepared for the enemy's attack
For the Holy Spirit I no longer lack
If my sin presents itself again
I will try my best to refrain

My Shield is thick and my Sword is broad
For I am now a Man of God

Sword and Shield

Foolish are my thoughts
For they Lead me astray.
I wish not be bound by this moral law.
I want to be free, too laugh and to play

I sat in awe of your glory and love
Then I left to fight on the battlefield
To serve and to conquer in your holy name
But it seems I forgot my Sword and My Shield

Torn to shreds by the enemy's claws
I tried to fight them off on my own
But their Fury overpowered my defense
And now I've disgraced your glorious throne.

Repent! Repent! Lord, I Repent!
For I can't carry on without your consent!
I'll open my heart and I'll let you in
So I can feel your love once again.

I wave goodbye to the things I once knew
As I once again approach the battlefield
What I say and do must glorify you
For you shall be my sword and my shield

Wise are my thoughts
For they lead me towards you
I discipline my mind so as to not waver
You are my Lord, my Councillor, my Father

Now as I face the enemy
He tries to tear my down
But through your glory and honor
I will carry your crown

Victorious! Victorious! Lord, I am Victorious!
Though I could not do it without you
For you are glorious
Your words and commandments forever reign true

I have survived the Battlefield

For you, my God, are my Sword and Shield.
